    mac80211: Implement HT mixed protection mode · 57aac7c5

    Section 9.23.3.5 of IEEE 80211s standard describes the protection rules for
    HT mesh STA in a MBSS. Three HT protection modes are supported for now:
    
    non-HT mixed mode - is selected if any non-HT peers are present in our MBSS.
    20MHz-protection mode - is selected if all peers in our 20/40MHz MBSS support
    			HT and atleast one HT20 peer is present.
    no-protection mode - is selected otherwise.
    
    This is a limited implementation of 9.23.3.5, which only considers mesh peers
    when determining the HT protection mode. Station's channel_type needs to be
    maintained.
